I've just spotted a couple of gems in the article, too:
The Queen spoke to some of the store's workers including Joan Goff, 86, who as a teenager worked at the store during World War II. She said she had seen the Queen, then Princess Elizabeth, during that time.
"She didn't come very often but I did see her in the shop once or twice," said Mrs Goff.
"Today I told her that I had been here when I was 14 and she said, 'how marvellous'."
Fortnums employs 86 year olds?
The queen says 'How marvellous'.
I wonder how many times a day the queen smiles and says 'How marvellous...'
